Dr. Bart is proud to offer several types of orthodontic treatments to suit your needs and budget. He offers traditional braces, which continue to produce excellent results year after year with metal brackets and wires. He can also provide options that make your orthodontic treatment more discreet if desired, such as ceramic braces or the renowned Invisalign® system, which uses clear plastic aligners instead of brackets and wires. With the patient’s needs in mind at all times, our team makes getting fitted for braces easier than ever!
This traditional metal bracket-and-wire system remains one of the most reliable orthodontic solutions, as these braces are known to treat even the most complex dental issues. Children, teenagers, and adults can experience life-changing results with these appliances, allowing for better oral health and a more visually appealing smile.
Invisalign consists of customized clear aligners that are fabricated using digital impressions taken of a person’s smile. Their unique craftsmanship allows teeth to shift based on the projected movement that is expected throughout treatment. They’re removable, flexible, and a more discreet option for self-conscious patients.
When a child’s teeth and jaws are not developing correctly, Dr. Bart and our team can recommend early orthodontics. By addressing these issues in their earliest stages with special appliances, we can mitigate the potential need for more invasive and complex treatment later on in life.
Adult orthodontics can be an ideal solution for anyone who is experiencing a change in their bite. Even if a person wore braces as a teenager, Dr. Bart can develop a plan to address recent shifts so that their teeth and bite work harmoniously together, alleviating the potential for enamel erosion, jaw pain, and other potentially harmful dental problems.
With Spark Aligners, patients can embrace an invisible orthodontic solution that offers greater comfort, clearer trays, and a more stain-resistant material. These aligners are also designed for greater efficiency so that teeth move quicker thanks to the continued force that is maintained and snug fit.
Instead of using elastic bands, our self-ligating braces can straighten teeth with the help of a built-in mechanism that holds the wire in place and moves teeth with greater efficiency. Their placement also produces less friction and discomfort, and they are much easier to clean.
Our Radiance Plus ceramic braces offer a more subtle approach to orthodontics, allowing patients to enjoy clear brackets that are less visible. They apply the same type of force to keep teeth moving in the right direction, but their discreet appearance allows individuals to remain more confident throughout treatment.
Lingual braces are unlike any other kind of orthodontic treatment, as they are affixed to the back of a person’s teeth. Working much in the same way as regular brackets and wires, they offer a discreet approach for those who prefer to undergo treatment without compromising their daily appearance.
Dentofacial orthopedics is a specialized field within orthodontics that uses various appliances, like a palatal expander or headgear, to improve the placement and function of a person’s oral and facial structures, more specifically, children. These are commonly used among young patients who have yet to receive their permanent teeth.
After having braces removed, a patient can expect to receive a customized retainer to help keep their teeth firmly set in their new location. These can be permanently affixed or removable, and they can be crafted from acrylic and wire or as clear plastic trays. When worn correctly, teeth will remain straighter and in place for a lifetime.
While wearing braces, there is the potential that one might experience an orthodontic emergency. Whether it’s a broken bracket, poking wire, or missing aligner, Dr. Bart and our team can deliver timely and expedient care to minimize any potential delays you might have with treatment.
